Photobucket is holding my account and others who link to a third party for ransom...I have thousands of photos there including my framing background links.
The announcement was made the 28th but went into effect today for me...I used a seldom used email account originally and did not see the new rules. so I was shocked when I saw all my photos blocked

I will probably pay the ransom because having to find a new hosting source, downloading thousands of pictures, and redoing all my saved files makes my back scream!
I also hate to mess up the archives with no show photos.

My sense of fairness is smarting big time. I can see charging a fee...but this a big jump if you post to a third party.
I used Imgur to host today’s graphics.
Sigh

Well, that stinks! They’ve been trying to get me to buy space because I’m supposedly over my limit. Instead, I put my pictures into Flickr and it’s free and private. I haven’t come close to using up my storage space. I should just shut down stupid Photobucket. At least I finally unsubscribe to their emails. LOL!

Hope you can get it straightened out! It’s hard to do without graphics on FreeRepublic! ;)

This Same Photobucket Issue has Happened with me. :(
I'm Also having a Problem with the Payment Page; it won't Accept Part of my Payment Information.
Possibly my Internet System is Causing it, so I'm Going to Try to Pay it Using my Old Dial-Up.

(((((Hugs, Dear FRiend)))))

Thank you to Everyone for the Daily Pings & Posts.
(((((Hugs, and God Bless)))))
